I am not impressed with Chris Christie. When he went toe-to-toe with Senate President Sweeney, the Governor blinked. This so-called property tax cap legislation has way too many exemptions in it. My propery taxes will certainly rise more than 2% under this very weak bill.
Oh yeah...saved us tons of money...NOT! My municipal tax went up because of his cuts. My school tax bill went up because of his cuts. Riding on a train went up because of his cuts. Etc., etc. Oh yeah, he's doing a bang up job.
When will he start concentrating on the job situation here in NJ instead of demonizing every union and their members?
your school taxes went up because most local leaders have NO COURAGE. we, in middletown, voted down our budget and the town council upheld the mandate from the people. that's how it's supposed to work
hey ambrosiajr - one of the biggest impediments to job creation is the insanely greedy unions and their abdurd demands. Thanks to that boob Corzine's signing of the job-killing prevailing wage law, things are even worse. Go get em Chris, keep standing up to the unions that are destroying the state.
We voted down our school budget also, and the all republican township committee vetoed the proposed reduction. Its a regional school and all the parties had to agree. Our township committee didn't. And don't tell me about voting them out..that never happens. They've been in power for over a quarter of a century with no end in sight.
You guys are plain ol' silly. Your property taxes and school taxes have been going up long before Chris Christie was governor, so don't blame him for this mess. If your schools can't make decent cuts, it's time for you to replace your school board!
"There is no other website out there with more influence in Central NJ. " ~ Adam Geller, CEO, National Research
" I read your blog all the time." ~ Chris Christie (April 6, 2009 while a candidate for Governor)
"More Monmouth Musings is a must-read. Art Gallagher skillfully covers local, state and national affairs and his blog is a definite stop on the daily news round up. A respected conservative, Art knows when to question conventional wisdom and his guest commentators provide an array of opinions on everything from the State House to the school board." ~ Senator Joe Kyrillos
" dung droppings" ~ commenter on Frank Pallone's facebook page.
"Can't speak for bigoted ignoramuses though so I'll leave that to you and yours." ~ Kathy Baratta
"Retarded" ~ Adam Puharic, former Monmouth County GOP Chairman
"More Monmouth Musings is a romping and rambunctious meeting place for the politically-engaged, and Art Gallagher is the incomparable ringmaster of this unique domain. " ~Scott Sipprelle,future Congressman
"Oh my goodness!" ~ Mayor Anna Little, future Congresswoman
"The most influential conservative in Central Jersey and Dean of the N.J. Conservative Blogging Caucus. First site I check every day... after my own!" ~ Matt Rooney, SaveJersey.com
"MMM is a great source of insider gossip and news in the conservative wing of the Republican Party and the Tea Party. I don’t agree with everything I read, but I keep taking a look- it is definitely entertaining. However, MMM would be better and could have far greater credibility if Art Gallagher didn’t display his biases quite so obviously and ran an unbiased forum for discussion.

Correction: School taxes were in line but Middletown's municipal budget is a crime in progress.
